Camera has special quality of innovative visualization democrating the diseased area from normal tissues by shifting color spectrum & contrast enhancement & this helps in accurate diagnosis & performing surgery.

The shifting of color spectrum helps in early & easy detection of cancerous lesions.

Bipolar Plasma Resection of Prostate

Plasma is a state of matter like solid, liquid or gas. This technique uses plasma energy to cut the prostate and simultaneously controls all bleeding. This is a low voltage energy (220 – 320Vrem) compared to standard TURP surgery (1000 – 3000 Vrem), and thus decreases complication rate significantly. There is no risk of cautery burns with this technique as was present with standard TURP. This is a clinically proven technique with strong clinical evidence & recommended by American, European & Australian Urology Association.

Safer technique for old and heart patients.

Less catheterization time.

Early discharge from hospital.

Economical to the patient.

No risk of cautery burns.

HD images of surgery for the patient.

Risk of hyponatremia very significantly decreased compared with standard TURP

Bipolar Saline TURBT (for urinary bladder tumors)

Less blood loss.

Easy and early detection of cancerous tissues by shifting color spectrum using Karl Storz HD Cam.

More complete resection of tumors.

Less risk of obturator jerk, hyponatremia.

No risk of cautery burns.

Percutaneous renal surgery

PCNL

URS

Here 1 cm hole is made in kidney to remove stones after breaking it into smaller pieces. There is a minimal pain and discomfort and patients can go home in 48 hours. Even bigger stones and stag horn stones can be safely managed with this modality. Some of the patients may also need help of lithotripsy to get complete stone removal.

Most of the urological surgery can be performed by keyhole surgery. Most of kidney surgery whether it is for benign disease or for cancer can be safely performed laparoscopically. In the same way many other urological cancer surgery like prostate cancer or ureteric cancer can also be done without cutting the abdomen. Apex Hospital offers all kinds of laparoscopic surgery for urological disease. Major advantage is less pain, small scar or no scar, early discharge and early return to work.

Female Urology

Urinary incontinence (urinary leak) and other urinary problems like urgency (going to the toilet frequently) and stress incontinence (leaking of urine with cough and laughing or straining) can be investigated and treated with minimally invasive methods.

Paediatric urology

Children suffer from various urological problems, which needs investigations. Most of the problem again can be managed by endoscopic and laparoscopic methods.

Reconstructive urology

Many reconstructive urological surgeries like pyeloplasty, urethral stricture surgery, hypospedias surgery and other congenital disorder are reconstructed routinely. Some of these reconstructive surgeries are done by keyhole surgery.
